In simple English
Writing emails that look good in every inbox is hard. You usually have to write old-style code with HTML tables. This tool lets you write emails using React (a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces) instead. Your emails will work correctly in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail. It is free to use and open source under the MIT licence.
What it is
A collection of unstyled components for creating responsive emails with React and TypeScript (a programming language that adds strict types to JavaScript). It translates your React code into HTML that works across different email apps.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to send clean transactional emails from a web app without fighting with archaic email layout rules.
- Saves hours of testing layouts across broken email clients like Outlook.
- Uses React components you already know if you build web apps.
- Tested and proven to work across Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo.
- Requires a Node.js development environment to build templates.
- Generated HTML can still behave strangely in older desktop Outlook versions.
- Adds another build step to your project workflow.
